Trauma Ties
The last light
The last light dies
The closing fear
An endless tide
Forget what you have come for
Now is only to survive
All dire imaginings
Surface at the edge of sight
Blind the true intent
Stalking underneath
Drawing ragged breath - beg for release
Forsake what you would covet
Now misshapen, dispossessed
Who will wake and who will perish or
Vanish in dementia’s grasp
Hide the true intent
Claw your way beneath
Isolate your prey - and then you show your teeth
We are all but lost - what have you done
We are lost - goddamn us what have we become
The blood becomes purpose
The terror contagious
If we are the monsters
How names that which hunts us
There is nothing left of me
In this form descending
Languish narrowly between
The dead and dreaming
Forgotten in decay
Now silence, staring blind
Forget what you had hoped for
Broken, torn, or lost below
Trauma ties us to this place
Cursed to haunt the souls that follow
The last light dies
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
